Do Border Collies Really Sleep???

Here is a picture of Jerry and Tom after a long walk at FDR Park. And, yes they are really napping! Tom has become such a good big brother protecting Jerry. Jerry likes to be the boss though and pushes Tom around biting his neck and hanging there. He also steals all of Smartie's toys and bones. Jerry has had a few time outs already to give Tom and Smartie a break! Looks like we have a new alpha around here. We can't wait until my mom gets her new puppy. Things will be quite interesting.

Introducing- Jerry--->"The Mighty Quinn"

Allow us to introduce the newest member of our family

Jerry "The Mighty Quinn."

Born January 27th, he joins his half brother Tom Jones our other Border Collie who is 18 months old. They both come from a line of highly respected herding dogs as their own dad is top dog in the country for herding. Although we have no sheep here they both will be kept very busy doing agility, learning tricks and herding each other I'm sure- as well as being wonderful additions to our family.

Paul and I were both quite terrified about having a puppy but I must say after only a few hours at home, Jerry settled right into eating, playing AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM OUTDOORS!!!!! He is now sleeping peacefully in his crate next to Tom's. Maybe we will get through the rest of the night without interruptions. It is already 2 am! I will keep you posted.
